2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD Electric · LD20 LHH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having secured a clean pass during its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 38,610 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a significant failure in early 2025. While the car previously struggled with consumable components and surface corrosion, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that the necessary repairs were addressed, bringing the vehicle back to a compliant standard. At 38,610 miles over six years, the car has averaged approximately 6,435 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light usage for an electric vehicle. There is a notable gap of 5,690 miles between the March 2024 and February 2025 tests, followed by another 5,319 miles leading to the latest inspection. This steady, relatively low accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy mechanical stress, though it likely explains the specific issues observed with the braking system. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The February 2025 failure highlighted heavy corrosion on all front and rear brake discs, a common occurrence for low-mileage electric cars where regenerative braking limits physical use on the rotors, meaning the discs should be checked for pitting or uneven wear despite the recent MOT pass. Additionally, the 2023 report of cracking and perishing tyres alongside the 2025 failure for low tread depth suggests that the rubber compound may be aging faster than the mileage indicates. Inspect the sidewalls for dry-rot cracking and ensure that the tyres replaced after the 2025 failure are of adequate quality and have sufficient remaining life.
